Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to bottle filling and cap screwing industry field, and particularly relates to a conveying mechanism for preventing bottles from falling over. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the bottle filling and cap screwing industry, the conveying of bottles is a key link. At present, after bottles are arranged by a bottle arranging machine, the material channel usually adopts a non-powered conveying mode, and the bottles are conveyed forward by mutual pushing. However, this mode has many problems. During the feeding process of the bottle arranging machine, empty positions are prone to occur in the rotary disc material position, which causes overshoot phenomenon when the bottles are arranged, and then frequent occurrence of front and rear falling bottles and bottle jamming. Moreover, after processing is completed, the material is conveyed to the labeling station of the rear work section, and the line body and the line body are connected with a transition section. For example, a certain number (such as 8 bottles) of bottles need to be stored at the transition position, and the front bottles are conveyed to the labeling position of the labeling machine by pushing of the rear bottles. When single bottle conveying occurs, the falling bottle phenomenon is prone to occur. These problems not only affect the production efficiency and increase the labor cost, but also may cause damage to the bottles and reduce the product quality. SUMMARY

The anti-inverted bottle assembly is the same as the anti-inverted bottle assembly 2 in principle.

[0035] Working principle

[0036] Bottle entering the conveying line

[0037] After the bottles are arranged and discharged by the bottle arranging machine, the bottles start to enter the conveying mechanism. First, the bottles reach the anti-inverted bottle assembly. At this time, the in-side vertical belt conveying speed-adjusting motor in the anti-inverted bottle assembly is in a working state. The motor shaft of the in-side vertical belt conveying speed-adjusting motor penetrates through the in-speed-adjusting motor mounting plate and is connected with the first driving shaft, thereby driving the first driving shaft to rotate. The rotation of the first driving shaft promotes the first driven shaft to rotate synchronously, so that the first side vertical belt mounted on the first driven shaft rotates clockwise. The first side vertical belt and the belt of the conveying line rotate in the same direction, and the first guide fixing plate and the first side vertical belt form a space through which the bottles pass. When the bottles enter the space, the first side vertical belt produces tangential friction with the bottle body, and under the action of the friction force, the bottles change from the original fixed straight-line conveying mode to straight-line spiral rotating conveying. The bottles rotate while moving forward, and this unique movement mode effectively prevents the bottles from being inverted when entering the conveying line from the bottle arranging machine.

[0038] Control and detection in the conveying process

[0039] Bottles are transported on a conveyor line, powered by a speed-regulating motor whose speed can be adjusted via a speed controller. Simultaneously, a bottle-feeding photoelectric sensor and a material-checking photoelectric sensor, mounted on the first guide plate, function. The bottle-feeding photoelectric sensor detects whether a bottle has entered the anti-tipping component area, while the material-checking photoelectric sensor detects whether the bottle contains material. A photoelectric sensor is also installed on the feeding line, with a pre-stored feeding quantity (e.g., 30 pieces). When the line is full, the photoelectric sensor detects this and sends a signal to the PLC. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC issues a command to stop the bottle unscrambler's feeding, while the conveyor line continues to transport bottles. When the detection position is empty, the photoelectric sensor detects no material and again sends a signal to the PLC. The PLC then issues a command to resume the bottle unscrambler's feeding, repeating this process to effectively control and manage the bottle transport process.

[0040] Bottles are output to the next workstation

[0041] After being transported by the conveyor line, the bottles reach the anti-tipping component at the outlet. The working principle of the anti-tipping component at the outlet is similar to that at the inlet. The speed-regulating motor of the outlet side-mounted belt drives the second drive shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the second driven shaft to drive the second side-mounted belt to rotate clockwise. The second side-mounted belt engages in shear friction with the bottle body, keeping the bottle in a straight spiral conveying state and preventing it from tipping over when transported to the next station (such as a labeling machine). This ensures that the bottles can enter subsequent production processes stably and accurately. Throughout the process, all components work together to ensure efficient and stable bottle transport and the effective implementation of the anti-tipping function.
